Answer:

E. $20,500

Explanation:

The average investment is defined as the average between the initial investment and the salvage value of the equipment.

AI = \frac{\$41,000+0}{2} \\AI = \$20,500

The answer is alternative E. $20,500

Why would a monarch from one country be interested in hiring an explorer from a foreign country?
Vedmedyk [2.9K]
<span>An example would be King Ferdinand of Spain having Columbus do his exploring for him. It is two fold, in that the riches or the conquering acquires land or resources and it is a show of power, more wealth equals more power. The explorer being from a foreign country is another feather in the cap, showing that they have an edge over that country and that the countryman was willing to go elsewhere and work for a competitor.</span>

The day-to-day living conditions of modern Americans are very different from what they were in the 20th century. While doing res
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

B) There has been economic growth in our society.

Explanation:

The American economy has consistently been the largest economy in the world since 1871, while the rest of the economic podium has changed a lot. Currently the Chinese economy is number 2, but just a few years ago the Japanese economy was on second place. The United Kingdom is currently a large economy, but it was number 1 before the US, and then it continued to fall to the sixth place. Argentina was once of the largest economies and richest economies in the world, and now it is a developing nation.

The only constant position (at least until China surpasses the US) during the last 150 years has been the US at number 1.

That doesn't mean that the US economy grew every year and there were no recessions. The largest global recession originated in the US in 1929, the Great Depression. And just a few years back, in 2008 the Great Recession hit the US. The US has suffered from several minor recessions as well.
